FOREWORD
The labor and expense involved in preparing an illus-
trated and complete Nursery Catalog, are almost out of pro-
portion to the returns to be expected. In a way, this 1s un-
fair both to the Nurseryman and his customers. The cost
must be covered in some way, and that way is generally,
increased prices on new and rare items, and lessened attention
paid to customers’ correspondence.
For the present we must adhere to our earlier style. and
the plain little list that follows has no photos. Instead we
have tried to make our prices moderate, to have our descrip-
tions and cultural directions, accurate, and written from our
own experience, and as before we urge you to write us, ask
us questions, whether about culture, names, or where to
obtain the odd items that interest you, but cannot be found
anywhere. We have many varied sources of information and
material, and often can help. In any case you will receive as
complete a reply as we can give.
Particularly to those who have their summer homes in
the North, and to those whose all-year home it is, we offer
our knowledge of what will grow and succeed in flowers,
ornamentals and fruits. We are well fitted by experience to
design and execute Landscape Plantings, and to arrange for
their aftercare, and will gladly give details as to cost, with-
out charge. In writing us, please state what is desired, and
something of the location and soils. Photos are helpful.
We can supply tools, furniture—as trellises and arbors—
and anything else needed in the garden. Shipment is made
from the nearest point, or from Shelburne, often resulting in
considerable saving.
In midsummer we publish a catalog of Bulbs and other
plants for autumn setting. These include Peonies and
Eremuri, not listed at this time. Bear it in mind, a copy will
be mailed you, but if you do not receive one, let us know.
Our prices cover packing except as otherwise noted, and
delivery to carrier. We do not pay delivery charges, save on
special offers. Parcel post charges to the extent of 10 per
cent. of order should be included. Otherwise we will ship by
Express.
We guarantee all stock to be true to name, and to reach
you safely. When received in good condition our responsi-
bility ends, and in no case will we be lable for more than the
value of the plants.
Remittance can best be made by Postal Money Order on
Shelburne, Vt. Personal checks are acceptable. [Either
should be payable to Gardenside Nurseries, Inc.

Which Every Garden Should Have
Anemone, Louise Uhink
We have long felt the need of a better Fall. Anemone, and
this variety is a great improvement on existing sorts. It is
earlier, very large and double, pure white, and hardier than
the type. It will bloom where others fail. Plant in deep,
cool, soil, and do not disturb it. 3 feet.
Plants from pots 35c each, $3.00 per 10.
Aster, Queen Mary
There is a bewildering variety of hardy Asters, but this
one stands out above the rest. The flowers are large, often
214 inches across, and of a very pleasing blue. The heads are
branching, and the cut sprays keep well, and arrange splen-
didly. Any ordinary soil, in sun, 3% feet.
50c each, $4.50 per 10
Aquilegia, Long Spurred Hybrids
Airy graceful flowers, poised on long stems, all garden
lovers know them well. Poor strains are many, in which
reds and yellows predominate. The reds are short lived, the
yellows tend to seed and take over the bed. Ours is a Scotch
strain, thought to be one of the very best. Plant in deep
loam, in sun or partial shade, 3 feet.
Zacseach..p2-00 per, LO
Dieletra spectabilis
Bleeding Heart, the true old-fashioned sort. The most
graceful spring flowering plant we have, fine for the front of
shrubbery for massing, or as a garden specimen. It should
have a deep cool well-drained soil. Ours are of our own
erowing, fine and clean. 2% feet.
35c each, 3 for $1.00, $3.00 per 10

PLANTS OF ESPECIAL INTEREST
Delphinium Hybrids
Hybrid Larkspur may be had under every conceivable
name and claim. Ours is a mixture of all the best. As such
a combination, it should give wonderful results. The basic
strain we use is an English one not commonly offered. It
does not give extra size or height, but the flowers have last-
ing quality, the plants are strong, stand well against wind,
and are resistant to disease. To this we add an equal
quantity of a mixture from the best sources. Last season we
had some wonderful colors. All shades of blue, shading to
rose, and an occasional white. They thrive in any good
garden soil, moderately enriched. Extra fine spikes may be
had by feeding with liquid manure, when the first stem
growth appears.
2-yr. clumps 35c each, $3.00 per 10
Gypsophila, Bristol Fairy
This new double Baby’s Breath is one of two genuinely
American introductions that are advances over all older sorts.
(Viola Jersey Gem is the other.) It has received the coveted
Award of Merit in England. Originating in New England, it
is perfectly hardy, and will succeed anywhere, North or South.
The individual flowers are double the size of the older variety,
pure white, produced on stems better suited for cutting, and
best of all, the plants flower continuously from July till late
fall. Give plenty of room for it is a robust grower, needing
as much space as a Peony. Any deep soil suits it.
Field-grown plants $1.00 each
Lilium regale
No one plant has done more to popularize its family than
the Regal Lily. Beyond a doubt, it is the most easily grown
form. Readily increased it is now becoming very plentiful,
and almost everyone has seen its chocolate-shaded trumpets
with their primrose yellow throats, nodding over the July
garden. Everyone ought to have some bulbs of this lily and
we have reduced the price with that in mind. Ours are clean
young stock, that will flower well the first season.

PLANTS OF ESPECIAL INTEREST
Lilium auratum
When planting the Regal Lily, add to the bed some bulbs
of this, the Goldbanded Japanese Lily, and some of the next
variety. They will provide a succession of bloom from July
to October. This lily has well-opened flowers, 6-8 inches
across, white, spotted with red, and with a yellow band down
the center of each petal. Powerfully fragrant. Plant deeply,
at least 6 inches to the top of the bulb, in a well-drained gritty
loam. If necessary, spade in fine gravel. Enrich the top soil
with a little old manure, but do not let it touch the bulbs.
These lilies all feed from stem roots, above the bulb. Mulch
with a little Peat moss or Sphagum, during the summer.
Large bulbs, 50c each, $4.00 per 10, $30.00 per 100
Lilium speciosum rubrum
This Lily blossoms quite late, and has beautiful rosy-white
Turkscap like flowers, heavily spotted red. It also is de-
lightfully fragrant. Early frosts do not injure the flowers.
Culture like the preceding.
Large bulbs, 50c each, $4.00 per 10, $30.00 per 100
Lupinus polyphyllus Hybrids
These Lupins change the familiar blue and white, to a
bewildering array of yellows, creams, pinks, as well as varied
blues, and bicolors. They have proven hardy here, though
they are said to be finicky. They do finely in a light loam, in-
clined to be alkaline, and a deep soil, and to be let alone, seem
to be their requirements.
Heavy plants, 35c each, $3.00 per 10
Viola Jersey Gem
We are continually praising this deep violet-colored Viola,
for every purpose. The plant is neat and compact, and makes
a wonderful edging for all beds. It blooms over the entire
season, and profusely if kept picked. If it gets over-large, it
may be sheared off in August and will quickly recover. You
always have flowers with Jersey Gem. Absolutely hardy,
grows in any soil, North or South.
Field clumps, 25c each, $2.00 per 10, $18.00 per 100
Young plants from small pots, for edgings, at $10.00 per
100. Not less than 50 at this price.

PLANTS OF ESPECIAL INTEREST
Papaver orientale, Olympia
This is the first genuinely good, double hardy Poppy. It
opens fully double, about 4 inches in diameter, only showing
the stamens as it matures. The color is a brilliant rich-flame
scarlet, while the habit is vigorous, but compact. A small
stock only, offered while they last at, 50c each.
Daphne mezereum
We are including three shrubs in this list of plants of
special interest. The Mezereon Daphne is an old shrub, still
rare and seldom seen. It is deciduous, grows about 2%
feet high, and the rosy lilac flowers deliciously sweet,
appear in May, before the leaves. In smaller sizes it is not
difficult to transplant, but it should not be disturbed. It is
particularly valuable for planting in the shade, as on the
north side of buildings, or under hard woods, and is delight-
fully used in that way. We have three sizes, the smallest
being the best for woodland planting.
4- 6 inches 25c each, $2.00 per 10, $18.00 per 100
6-12 inches 50c each, 4.50 per 10, 35.00 per 100
Clumps, $1.00 each, $9.00 per 10
Rosa hugonis
This rose should be called the “Golden Bridal Wreath”
for it is a golden counterpart of that popular shrub. It 1s
absolutely hardy, attractive in leaf and stem, fragrant, early.
Use it not in the rose garden, but as a shrub about the house,
as a hedge, or a single specimen. It will delight you in May
with arching branches loaded down with single yellow
flowers. The rose for all sections of the country, It needs
only full sun.
2-yr. plants, $1.00 each, $9.00 per 10
Berberis thunbergi atropurpurea
Similar to the well-known Japanese Barberry in all re-
spects save color. The foliage is a rich, bronzy, red, becom-
ing more brilliant as the season advances, and changing to
orange and scarlet in the fall. It has the scarlet berries, too,
which remain on the plant all winter. The finest foliage color
of any hardy shrub and it needs only full sun to develop it.

ROSES
Everyone loves roses, and the question constantly heard
is “What sorts are hardy here?”
As a matter of fact, none of the best new garden roses
are satisfactorily hardy in the North. The wood is tender,
and being budded or grafted they are lost if killed to the
ground, while on their own roots, they do not succeed. If
ee can restock each year, however, wonderful blooms may be
ad.
There are, we feel, three types of roses satisfactory for
Northern planting. The first are the hardy species; bushy,
strong-growing plants, better used as shrubs than anything
else, though beautiful and fragrant. We catalog several good
forms.
Next are the newer hybrids of the Rugosa type of rose
and the Moss roses. In recent years, several fine forms have
appeared, bearing large, double, fragrant, well formed and
colored blooms. They are generally quite spiny, and strong
growing, and only a few blossom throughout the season. We
list the best.
Most satisfactory, we believe, are the Polyantha or bunch
flowered roses. These are comparatively hardy, do well on
their own roots, and if grown in this way they may be killed to
the ground, only to result in extra fine blooms. The colors are
good, the flowers small but dainty, the fragrance delighftul,
and they are almost everblooming. We are propagating
them, with a view to offering only plants on their own roots,
but for the present must purchase what we sell. Whenever
possible we buy own root stock.

CLIMBING ROSES
The Climbing Roses are a class apart. Those offered as
hardy are usually sufficiently so to live through our most
severe winters. But the long rambling growths—which must
be preserved through the winter, for they bear the flowers—
often suffer, and the result is—no flowers. If you would
grow climbing roses, plant in full sun. Prune out all old
wood, immediately after the flowers fade. Then in late fall,
take down the canes, tie them securely together, and to two
stakes, one close to the base, the other at the tips.
Cover
completely with leaves, or straw, and cover that with ever-
green boughs.
In the first warm days of spring, remove the
leaves or straw, but put back the evergreen.
If properly
done, this will winter any of the following anywhere in the
North.
Bess Lovett. Light crimson red.
Fine for cutting.
Christine Wright. Wild-rose pink.
Dr. Van Fleet. Best of all
climbers. Pale pink buds and

EVERGREENS
The use of Evergreens about small homes has added
greatly to the interest in and the demand for them. Un-
fortunately, many times the two types of Evergreens are
confused and wrongly used, resulting in great dissatisfaction.
The common Evergreens of our hills are all trees many
feet high. These and similar forms from all over the world,
may be used on large places, or as specimen trees. But they
should rarely or never be planted close to a house.
For this purpose the Nurseryman has developed forms re-
sulting from chance seedlings, which are more controlled in
growth. Often the ultimate height is only a few feet, or the

colors, grays, blues, even golden and white, variegated, and
every shade of green, with odd shapes and habits; in short the
lot is interesting as specimens.

artistic when properly used, and though more expensive than
shrubs, their year around charm makes them worth the extra

SHRUBS AND TREES
There are a great many very satisfactory shrubs and
trees for home ornamentation that we do not catalog, as there
are many too that are useful as artistic single specimens. We
have made our choice on a basis, first, of hardiness, next, of
general utility about the home or on the estate, and have in-
cluded for specimen planting, only those of real beauty. We
procure our stock from reliable sources, and are generally
able to ship quite dormant plants, quite late in the season.
We will gladly advise about the individual problems of shrub
planting, and will obtain varieties not listed, whenever in our
judgment, success may reasonably be expected.

FRUIT TREES, BERRY BUSHES AND PLANTS
VEGETABLE PLANTS
The following list of Fruit Trees, etc., is not large. From
it, however, the home planter may select varieties covering
the entire season, all of high quality. We have no use for
low quality in fruit. Several new varieties are offered, but
generally, we cannot speak of them from experience. All
apples are certified true to name, and are No. 1 grade only.
Berry plants and bushes are of our own growing whenever
possible. Vegetable plants are from the finest seeds, prop-
erly grown, well packed. Moderate packing is charged on
trees and bushes. Plants and small bushes are not charged
for.
